It is easy for us to take our senses for granted. The ability to see—even if through glasses—is a tremendous blessing. The ability to hear—even if we need aids—is a wonderful gift. In John’s Gospel we have witnessed many who simply have not...

The coronation of a newly crowned king or queen puts on full display the majesty, wealth, and prestige of the new monarch. In many ways, the ceremony makes a powerful statement about what kind of ruler he or she will be. In John 12, Jesus arrives at...

All too often our decisions are made by the answer to this question: What will it cost? Rather than deciding in light of what we truly need or what is best for us, we take the cost into account more than anything else—not only the monetary cost but...

Few things are as painful as the death of a loved one. In John 11, we read about Jesus’ loss of his beloved friend, Lazarus. Though John has repeatedly declared that in Jesus “was life and the life was the light of men” (1:4), this was only...

Where does real security come from? Can we ever find it in this world given the uncertainty that we all face? Despite the various steps we take to feel secure, the reality is that these steps only reveal the depths of our insecurities. Those engaging...

As we continue reading of Jesus’ interactions with the Jewish leaders, it is clear that their leadership did not match up with God’s intent for those shepherding his people. In the previous chapter, we saw them throw out the blind man who...

Here we come to one of the most well-known stories about Jesus: his simple healing of a blind man followed by that simple profession of faith: I once was blind, but now I see. But if we’re not careful, we might miss the big idea. Jesus is not...

For some—if not many—the thought of asking for help seems like a declaration of defeat. Further, there is a sense in which we now feel indebted to the one who gave us help. We would much rather be self-reliant and independent rather than beholden...

“I am the light of the world,” Jesus proclaims in John 8:12. What significance does this have? If he is the true light, what is the right response from us? When we ponder his statement through God's bringing light into the world at creation to...

Where do we turn when we’re seeking satisfaction? For many people, satisfaction seems impossible to find let alone attain for the long haul. Most would say that true satisfaction is elusive—difficult to find or achieve. However, John’s Gospel...

The Psalms play a unique role within Scripture. Each psalm reflects the heart and emotions of its author as a prayer to the LORD. And the LORD has graciously given us these words by his inspiration to know how we can bare our own hearts to him. The...

The story of the Good Samaritan is one of Jesus’ most widely known parables. While it is mainly a story about showing compassion, Jesus includes elements that uncomfortably challenged his original audience and exhorts us in similar ways. If we are...

“To Know Christ and To Make Christ Known.” This is our primary goal as a church. We also declared seven values to show us what this will look like and to know who we want to be as a church. The third value is prayer. We want to be a...
